Ou Tuesday, the second evening of the fair, the fortunate can didate will be known and decided who is to have the lady's gold watch, Miss Cassie McCloskey or Miss Elite Dona- van.

The prevalence of the two diseases above named, in any community nat urally causes alarm and anxiety among parents, and the question is frequently asked what is a sure preventative against these dreaded diseases? Since diphtheria has made such havoc with little folks in the rural districts the past fall, and has swept a number of family pets into early graves, auy simple and well re commended remedy will be hailed with interest. A reliable correspond ent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes as follows on the subject. "A year or two ago our housemaid, after a day's Illness fever, throat obstruction, etc. went to bed about I noon, thoroughly sick. Our doctor in the afternoon decided that she was suffering from diphtheria. Toward evening my youngest child, about three years old, who had been ailing somewhat all day, manifested the same symptoms, and also became quite sick. On reaching home at night I at once placed in a tumbler enough black oxide of manganese to cover the bottom to the depth of half an inch, and added sufficient common muriatic add to form a thin paste. Stirring this mixture with a glass rod every few minutes, and holding the tumbler at arm's length to avoid direct inhalation of ihe fumes giving off, I walked slowly through every part of the house, .eaving the win dows open at top and bottom to pro vide the free circulation of air, and not forgetting the cellar. "Next day the housemaid attended to her usual work, aud tho child showed no signs of ill health. I spoke of tho circumstance to my brother,and, some time after ills child, who had been playing with a neighbor's child not fully recovered from scarlet fever, became sick, and showed the early symptoms of that diseaso. My b rother adopted the measures I had employed, with the same results, the child being quite well the next day. Since then other persons to whom I suggested this simple preventative have tried it and found it effective. I usied it when ever any member of the family has manifested any of the symptoms which usher in any one of the many diseases, and my children, in their eighth aud sixth years.have not nsyet suffered from any ordinary disease of childhood. We are pained to announce the deatli of Isaac Ramsge. He died at his residence in Slnnemahouing Tues day afternoon, aged about 75 years. Mr. Ramage was an old aud esteemed citizen, aud was elected Associate Judge at the last election the only Democrat fleeted iu ttiis county Cumeron County Press. -One of the most trustworthy signs for a very cold wiuter is a large crop of nuts and wintergreen berries, which are stored away arid consumed by the rabbits, squirrels and ground animals. Last season there were scarcely any hickory nuts and berries, so that the hares and others of their species were compelled to seek asubsistance out-sido of their burrows where it could be found. The little creatures have forc- ight enough to lay in a plentiful stock of the fall berries and nuts to keep them from starving. It is said by the "weather prophets" that this indication is almost as reliable as"Oid Probs," and they predict a winter of extraordinary severity. The most re markable cold year in the United States was in l.Sl'l, when frosts occurred every month, the corn Was cut down by the frost in July, and the second crop which tho fanners had planted after that time was crippled in Sep tember, and rendered utterly worth less. All our pioneers remember that fearful year, which, on account of tho lamuiy ensuing trotn total failure ot the crops destroyed by cold weather was called "Eighteen hundred and starved to death." This terrible condition of things prevailed the entire country, and, but for the bouutiful harvests of the year previous, thousands would have K-rMied from starvation. Pot ter Enterprise.

M., Friday, Sheriff Bastlan performed the painful official duty of reading to George Smith and Mrs. Catharine Miller the warrants for their execution which he has had;ln his possession for some time. They had previously been informed of the fact that the warrants were here, and hence were not wholly unprepared for what was to come. Mrs. Miller was first taken Into the large room on the southeast corner of the jail, second floor, it being better lighted than her own coll. Although .she has pretty well recov ered from her recent illness, she does not look healthy. She has grown stoop-shouldered and has a bad cough. She took a seat upon the cot, and the sheriff, after informing her of the painful duty be was required to per form, proceeded to read the warrant fixing the Cth day of January for her execution. Mrs. Miller became agi tated as the reading progressed, and was sobbing freely when it was con cluded. The sheriff addressed her a few words of kindly advice,urging her not to indulge in any hopes of escape from the doom pronounced against her While wiping the tears from her eyes, Mrs.Miller exclaimed: "I hope I'll not live till the day." She was then taken back to her own room aud Smith was brought into the large cell. The sheriff at once read his warrant to him and also'gave him advice situ! lar to that given Mrs. Miller. When he told him not to count upon any escape, Smith answered : "I haven't; I don't." The sheriff urged him to be prepared for the worst, to whicli lie responded that he was so prepared. He conversed briefly with tho visitors before going back to his cell. Those present during the interviews were Sheriff BastUn, Turnkey G. M. D. Gilbert; H. S. Wells, of the Banner and a Gazette and Bulletin representa tive. Baseball Rules. At the session of the National Base ball League held at New York re cently the following revisions were made iu the playing rules: The pitcher's position is moved five feet further from the home base. The bat ting order is established by 9 A. M. of the day for each game, and cannot be varied. The field rules, which last year formed part of the League Con stitution, are now incorporated with the playing rules. The number of called balls is reduced to seven and strikes to three. The warning, "good ball," is omitted. Substitutes cannot take the place of players after the be ginning of the game except in case of illness or injury. The b:ise runner shall not have a substitute run for him under any circumstances. The biise runuer may be put out on returning to his Imse after a foul hit if touched by the ball in the hands of a fielder after the pitcher lias handled it. A visiting club may select one of its em ployees to umpire the game in cr.se the home club fails to produce the umpire agreed upon. In scoring a column of bases on hits is substituted for liases run and of errors for total chances offered. All provisions in the rules concerning darkness or rain were postponed for future considera tion. The Spaulding League ball was adopted for next season. Important to Odd Fellows. At the last session of the Supreme Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, tho work of the Order was completely revised. The unwritten work is changed in certaiu mutters, and other reforms in troduced that will make the initiatory and degree work less cumbersome. We may be permitted to outline these changeo, which are ordered to go into effect in all lodges on the first day of January next. In the subordinate lodges there will be three instead of five degrees. Those who now have the first and and second will rank as first-degree members; those who now have the third aud fourth will rank as second-degree members; the fifth- degree of old work will rank as third degree in the new. There is one de gree in Rebekah, and three encamp ment degrees. The officers of the Grand Lodge will visit Altoonaand Huntingdon, on Friday, December 17th, to give instructions in the re vised work of the Order. They will be at Altoona at 11:30 o'clock P.

A Coudersport dispatch to the Phila delphia Press, Monday last, says that Mrs. Lucy A. Still, a lady nearly sixty years of age, residing near Sha ron's Mills this county, has Just passed through one of the most terrible ex periences ever recorded. She was traveling through one the great name- ess swamps of Potter county on her way to visit herson, who lived about six miles distant from her home. There had been a slight fall of snow a day or two before, and the road was partly hidden from sight, but the old lady had made up her mind to go, and so she started out on foot to walk the six miles, a task she had frequently accomplished. Before she had reached the centre of this great name less swamp the snow again com menced falling and in a short time the road was hidden from sight. Still the old lady plodded bravely on, but when darkness overtook her she must have strayed from the road, and finally she found herself struggling in the mire. She became frightened and confused, and the more she struggled the deeper she sank, until she found it would be impossible to extricate her self. She screamed for help but in vain. No one answered her call. She at last, after almost superhuman efforts suceeded in reaching a hem lock tree, which she climbed. The dense foliage of the tree afforded her considerable warmth, and she deter mined to remain there until morning The following morning dawned com paratively warm, aud the bog by which she was surrounded, instead of getting harder, became more and more soft and perfectly impassable. Before starting from home Mrs. Still had put some bread and crackers iu her pocket to eat along the road, and fortunately, had in her pocket a large flask of brandy, which she was taking to her sou. Upon theso provisions and a quantity of snow which she ate Mrs. Still managed to subsist for seven days, never during to descend from her percli in the tree. She screamed almost continuously, and on the following Monday, just a week af ter she had started to walk to her son's house, her cries for help were heard by a party of hunters, who immedi ately made preparations for her res cue. They procured an axe and made an ingenious contrivance somewhat resembling a raft, which they suc ceeded in pushing to the foot of the tree in which Mrs. Still was sitting, and in a short time she was safe at her son's house. Parties uau been scour ing the county in all directions for days and finally all hopes of finding her had been abandoned. While in the swamp Mrs. Still says she saw hundreds of deer and three or four bears. She was attacked by a wildcat. but her prayers for safety were ans wered, for us the animal came toward her she gave an awful scream and the "varmint" fled, Mrs. bull was so ex hausted and weak that she could scarcely move when found, una a ser ious illness ha3 .resulted which may yet prove fatal. Her experience has never been equalled by any woman o her age. If you want a sheet of notepaper or an envelope call at The Advocate office.
